Feedback on Future Racketboy Mascot

I like it! I agree with some previous comments that it would be better if simplified a bit before being pixelated, and the headphones should be more prominent.
I'm thinking that if he simplified and thickened the lines it'd look a lot more videogame-sprite-like. Check out what PixelTao did to the NES Megaman sprite.

And a case of beer? Or am I asking for too much?

What are you going to do with a picture of beer?

Take one look at it and realize that Racketboy.com is the place for me.

...but I'd settle for flames / explosions.

D'oh. Okay, so even sans flames, boobs, and beer it's still a pretty good design. I just wish it was possible to keep it a little closer to Jet Set Radio without risking a visit from Sega's well-dressed law team.

I'm also not crazy about the mascot idea. It's your site, though. If you did insist on a mascot, I have two suggestions:

1. The hero from Adventure on the Atari VCS. I'm sure you'll be able to get away with using him.

2. An animal mascot with an attitude. I know it sounds like a joke, but I think it would come closest to fitting the style and focus of the site.

*EDIT* Also, I don't think he should be holding a controller.
